40 Day Survival Instructor Program
This is the most intense and long term wilderness survival training that SIGMA 3 currently offers. This is the best way to take all our classes at once and become a certified in-house wilderness survival  instructor for SIGMA 3. You will learn everything you need to know for short term and long term survival. The entire standard program all in one setting and a whole bunch more! This program is only offered at our Arkansas Headquarters and this course will use coyote mentoring much more than any of our other programs. Skills will be worked in much greater depth and we devote many hours to the mastery of individual skills.
In this program you will start with the survival priorities and then build on them to increase your comfort in the wilderness. SIGMA 3 doesn't teach you how to get out of the woods, we teach you how to live in them. There isn't one ounce of rescue training in these courses, because we are teaching you how to disappear into the landscape and survive indefinitely. You will have no need of rescue, because after our training you will call the wilderness your home. Shelter, water, fire, food, tools, medical, bow making, & navigation. You will learn all these skill sets with primitive as well as modern methods. SIGMA 3 specializes in not only surviving, but we take our students knowledge level to such a high degree that you will be very comfortable anywhere you travel in the world. Knowledge weighs nothing and we are going to throw everything we possibly can at you, so be prepared!  If you think you would prefer to learn these skills intensively and all in one blast, then this is the program for you! Please contact us for details on pricing and scheduling.

Logistics and Equipment
Length: You will spend 40 days straight in the woods and this is the most intense way to experience our training. You will sleep in the shelters you create all month and be completely immersed into real world survival training. This extra time and difficulty will allow you to get tremendous amounts of dirt time and really hone your skills extremely fast! Upon graduation of this course, you will receive a SIGMA 3 Instructor Certification which will make you eligible in the future to teach certain courses for us in your neck of the woods. But you must pass the tests and reproduce the skill sets to graduate. So come prepared to work!

 
 
 
 
 
Items needed: Medium sized ruck sack, good rain gear,  proper outdoor clothing, boots, good survival knife, hatchet, folding saw, paracord, poncho, water filter, stainless steel canteen, ferro rod, peterson's field guide to wild edibles, petersons field guide to medicinal plants, sleeping bag, and food. Other items may be useful, contact us if you have questions about gear. Note: Please do not show up with a piece of junk knife!
*There are numerous stores where outdoors products can be purchases within a short drive, but it is better to check the recommended items list and show up with those items first. Academy, Walmart, and numerous other retail stores are close by if you forget something or break any equipment. There are several grocery stores within a 10 minute drive of our property, so you will be able to purchase whatever groceries you need on site. Transportation can be provided upon request.
You can bring whatever you like to our primitive camp, as we have a 4 wheeler to transport anything you need. We will only limit what you can have at your camp during certification scenarios which will require you to ditch your gear for those portions of the course.
Location: The course will be held on our large headquarters property here in western Arkansas. You will stay the whole month in our survival village and stay in our primitive shelters. Its a requirement of graduation that you sleep the whole month primitively. In Arkansas, we have an extreme bug problem at the camp during certain seasons. Ticks, chiggers, and mosquito are in great abundance. So you should treat your clothing with permethrine (more info on recommended items list). Very bad weather is common, cold wet conditions can be the norm. We have 7 ponds and a good sized creek. 400 acres total for main camp area, and access to another 1000 acres. Also we may travel into the national forest on occasion if necessary. This is intense, be prepared!
Food and water: You will provide your own food and water. Water can be purchased locally, we also have a large onsite filter (jerry can), or you can filter your own water from local sources. Walmart is within 10 mins and several other stores within short driving distance. If you don't plan on bringing your vehicle to the course (which is recommended), then you can usually hitch a ride with other students. In some portions of the course we will procure our food from the land, but in other sections you will need to provide your own food. You can literally bring anything you want to eat, as we can tote coolers back and forth. We don't begrudge a man eating good while in the wilderness. Other bring freeze dried food or MRE's are usually top choices. But since most of our students fly then that isn't an option for those that fly.
Bow making and Hunting: We will be making our own custom longbows from scratch and you will need to purchase a stave or several if you choose. You can build as many as you like in your down time if you so choose. Hickory Staves $50 and Osage Orange $100. You will use these bows to hunt game during the various food procurement phases of the class. You should bring camo clothing with you if you have it. Be prepared to go trekking!
Licenses: The class will have a considerable amount of hunting and fishing in it and you will be required to purchase an Arkansas state hunting and fishing license. Check for more details at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Website
Weapons: If you have a favorite hunting rifle or concealed carry weapon that you would like to bring. Its welcome at our camp!
